Hi Sas85,

Im not sure what state you are in but know that in WA school age wait lists for a public diagnosis are quite long (though disability services is trying hard to reduce this) and 9 months sounds about right. On the other hand private wait lists are a bit shorter. The longers private waitlist I have heard of for a paed is 6 months but some are far quicker. Again not sure for all states but in WA you need a psychologist and speech pathologist also and if going privately then you could persue these whilst on the waitlist for the pead - most don't mind who you see first. If you are from WA pm me and I can give you some info on services. HTH
